<h1 class="topictitle1">Post Office Protocol on iSeries server</h1>
<div><p>The Post Office Protocol (POP) server is the iSeries™ implementation
of the Post Office Protocol Version 3 mail interface.</p>
<p>It provides electronic mailboxes on the iSeries server from which clients can
retrieve mail. Any mail client that supports the POP3 protocol can use this
server, such as Netscape Mail, Outlook Express, or Eudora. Clients might be
running on any platform, such as Windows<sup>®</sup>, OS/2<sup>®</sup>, AIX<sup>®</sup>, or Macintosh.</p>
<p>The POP server serves as a temporary holding area for mail until it is
retrieved by the mail client. When the mail client connects to the server,
it queries the contents of its mailbox to see if there is any mail to retrieve.
If there is, it retrieves the mail one message at a time. After a message
has been retrieved, the client instructs the server to mark that message for
deletion when the client session is complete. The client retrieves all of
the messages in the mailbox and then issues a command that tells the server
to delete all of the messages that are marked for deletion and to disconnect
from the client.</p>
<p>POP mail clients use <var class="varname">verbs</var> to communicate with the POP
server. Verbs supported by the iSeries POP server are described in POP
protocol.</p>
<p>For more information about the POP protocol works, use the RFC Index to
look up RFC 1725, which defines the POP Version 3 mail interface standard.</p>
